  1. Everything is genuine except the skirts (the white things). Missing rear arch cap, should be able to use the one from the fiberglass ones no drama. Skirts and door pods are to suit a 4 door. Sorry no pics of the rear bumper / apron, but it is included in the price. $500 firm. I also have a full genuine m-tech1 kit that I could be pursuaded to part with. Just seeking offers on that at this stage. Max 0273545576 Cheers.

    Nup never got around to it. Was planning on turning the tyres on them into smoke after my manual conversion but I have to let the clutch bed in.

  10. These bolt straight up to any E30 without the need for spacers. +25 offset. They have 4 tyres on them but none of them will pass wof. Light curbing but nothing major. SOLD Max.
  11. You can get a sort of moisturiser product that you wipe on. Its a gel. Brings black plastic bits up shiny and lasts. I've used it on door handles, bumper trims, window trims, windscreen wipers.. you name it. The one I use is called 'bumper magic' but there are heaps of other brands that do the same product.

    Oh yea I vaguely remember. My experience so far is that having people suddenly decide they want to be in your lane and to hell with you during peak hour on the motorway is an every 5-10 minute thing. I can't really get abusive because I must've done it a couple of times myself while I was learning what lanes I need to be in or what exits I needed to take etc Yes very interested however I'll have to see how unis going. Its hotting up a bit now so I suspect that that Tuesday was the last day I'l be taking off this semester.

    It's interference Ven.
  16. Pretty sure this is happening whenever someone clicks on the link to Mattzys project thread through his for sale thread. You need to go back to his for sale thread, click the link to the project thread and swap "threaded" for "list" in the adress bar of the project thread as per pandos instructions. Then go to another thread and it should be all good. Glenn, call me if you can't sort it.

    Herro. Glenn kindly let me use his workshop and expertise today and I got lots done. Hoists make things SO much easier, as does access to all the tools I could ever need. But the best bit was having Glenn on hand to talk me through things. Twas a very valuable day. Glenn, you're a legend. - Handbrake was way out of adjustment. Fixed. (actually Chris did this while I looked on and pretended to be learning ;D). - Control arm ball joints were all rooted. I suspect the very low nature of the car before I got it had something to do with this? Fixed with new control arms. This also got rid of the vague zone in the middle of the steering that seems to plague all E30s. Recommended. - Urethane control arm bushes. I got these off 'Eagle' with the control arms. I've only done 20ks or so with them but the improvement was very noticeable. Recommended. - One of my rear shocks was the wrong way around and thus rubbing on the CV boot. Fixed. - Voigtland lowering springs all around. So far I like the ride with these. The arse certainly doesn't sit down when you boot it like it did with the std springs in, which actually makes the car feel slower heh. The height is nice too.... well on the drivers side at least . Recommended. - Sway bar reinstalled properly with greased bushes. I didn't know the tabs on the bush retainer were meant to go in that slot... - Other odds and ends which aren't really worth noting. Oh yea I almost forgot... its manual now! Some points of interest are: - Used a G260. Crunches in to 4th if you don't match the revs which took a bit of getting used to but I can pretty much match it automatically now. - Flywheel somewhat conservatively lightened to 6.8kg. Factory is somewhere over 8kg. I've never driven any other M20B25 so I don't know how much of an improvement this has made but I can happily say I am satisfied with the power my car has. New clutch. - Trademe short shifter. Its... short. 2nd to 3rd is a really satisfying shift. 1st to 2nd is a bit hard, and reverse is a bit of a guess. I'm going to stick with it. - Mahogany gear knob (thanks Glenn). - Rear main seal was clearly leaking so I replaced that. Some fairly useless pics from the manual conversion: Manual conversion: Doing stuff: Mid progress: Doing the sump gasket at the same time: Rear main seal having a piss: Kelloggs sponsored rear main seal carrier gasket: Clutch alignment tool: My WTB list: -Grey sunroof interior cover!!!!!!!!!! -Manual window winder handle -Leather handbrake boot -Sterling silver drivers side mirror -Motronic m20b25 intake boot Max.
  21. Should look great on it too.
  22. $80, worked perfectly for the 2000ks I did in it but had a drip from somewhere.

    Otago - Auckland

    Just bought a somewhat beefy amp in Dunedin. I'm wondering if any bimmersporters from the area are coming up to Auckland some time in the next fortnight and wouldn't mind bringing it with them? Long shot I know, but I've seen these threads work before. TIA Max.
